I grow and sell herbs, and I have aphids in my greenhouse. What can I do to get rid of them? I ordered ladybugs, but theyre taking forever to clean the parsley. Is there anything I can use on them that is organic, or that won't ruin the herbs to clean the aphids off? Someone told me vinegar and water?Aphids are getting harder to control. We have noticed that aphids are less susceptible to insecticidal soap than they used to be. Insecticidal soap still kills some aphids, but it doesn't seem to give the complete kill that we remember.
Also, I have a customer who purchased lemon thyme, but he's allergic to all citrus. Will he be allergic to the lemon thyme also?With allergies it is always a hazardous business to predict someone's reaction, but I would think that lemon thyme will not provoke the same reaction that citrus fruits do. It depends on what components in the citrus fruit are causing the reaction, and it seems to me that the chances are high that whatever it is, it is not in lemon thyme. Lemon thyme's essential oil is different from that in the lemon citrus.
